Here is Our Surreal Scroll

More than twenty surreal children turned up at the library yesterday to shuffle nouns and verbs and adjectives and elbow each other (ever so politely) for their bit of the scroll to embellish. It was SUCH FUN! Some of my favorite lines were:The noisy trumpet laughs at fireYou gave an elegant ribbon[to] A running confident monkeyThe jumping round earis stealing a tiny moonin embarrassing pointed waters.

Is this something you put on with the children. I would like to do something like this with my students. What was the prompt, if you don't mind my asking? You know us teachers, always looking for clarification and stealing each others ideas.
